I'M GOIN' TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don't think I can adequately express to you my intense excitement right now. Even with caps lock and excessive exclamation marks. You have to understand that I'm a little bit of a Disneyland fanatic. I LOVE Disneyland. I've read the Wikipedia pages for just about every ride (carefully skipping the "how it works" parts so as not to spoil the magic) even though I haven't been since I was eight. This is a BIG DEAL.
THE SETUP:
One of my great loves, as you might know, is the Muppets. So when we went to see Pirates 4 (which was surprisingly decent, by the way) and a commercial came on for the new Muppets movie... I was a little excited. No, I was ridiculously excited. You need to know that.
Anyway, I come downstairs this morning and Dad's like, "I found a new commercial for the Muppets movie... wanna see it?" Well duh! So I sit through the first little bit or so... it's the same trailer. But Dad says, "No it's not." (Oh my goodness, this is horrible writing. I'm sorry. I'm too excited right now to write coherently. Forgive me.) About halfway through the screen flashes "This isn't really about the new Muppets movie." I was lost. No clue what's going on. Then at the end, it said, "We're going to Disneyland!"
Still lost. All of you who think I'm smart, think again. Not until about two seconds after it was over did I realize that WE are going to Disneyland, not the Muppets.
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That's about what I sounded like, too. Along with a lot of "What? Really? WHAT? REALLY?")
We have a six-day (yes, SIX DAYS IN DISNEYLAND) park hopper pass between Magic Kingdom and California Adventure (home of one of the coolest rides of all time, Soarin' over California). One day we get into the park an hour before it opens to get to all the rides that would otherwise be crowded. We're also road-tripping, a feat we haven't attempted in... a really long time. I don't know how long ago that was. I am stoked. I am so stoked. This is gonna be so much fun!!!!!!
My brother is beyond excited because just days before we arrive, the newly revamped STAR TOURS will have opened. The kid is a Star Wars nut and he's been talking about it for ages. The last time we went he was about three, so I'm super excited for him to actually be able to remember this trip.
I'm excited for me, too-- I still have all my childlike wonder, but not nearly so much childlike fear. Or childlike height restrictions. Haha! I'm just as excited to go on the Peter Pan ride as I was when I was eight, but now I'm not scared to go on the Haunted Mansion anymore! And I'm tall enough to go on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror! (No comment on the fear factor there.) I might even get my senior pictures taken IN DISNEYLAND... how stinkin' cool is that? To list everything I'm excited about would take pages and pages to tell, so I'll leave it at this...
I'M GOIN' TO DISNEYLAND!
Here's to the happiest place on earth!
